Description

Purpose

The purpose of this flavor is to support the organization, the processing and the sharing of personal information and services. It is meant to be used primarily by a single person, albeit also offering a secure read / write mechanism to others.

Use cases

• As a user:
  • I can write notes about the books and songs I like, my projects, my photos and videos, and I can draw relations between them. This network is a "personal web".
  • I can retrieve the posts and documents that I created on sites such as Twitter or Google Drive, organize them uniformally and search across them globally.
  • I can create or install services harnessing my data, such as: organize a trip, gather information about a city, ask me questions, recommend a doctor and book appointment, etc.
  • I can grant secure input output to/from parts of my data and services and I can charge a fee for this.
• As a project manager or consultant:
  • I can organize information related to the projects I'm involved in: participants, meeting notes, tasks, travel information, web pages, budget, pictures, drawings, etc.
  • I can create personal visual dashboards agregating data from multiple sources, helping me understand better my domain of expertise and the course of my projects.
• As a researcher:
  • I can collect and annotate the articles I'm interested in and I can link these articles to pages containing author contact and profile, their labs and projects.
  • I can export this knowledge graph in standard bibliography formats such as bibtex.
  • I can write articles about my research experiments in a structured manner that ease the replay of these by others (electronic laboratory notebook).
• As a teacher or as a student:
  • I can compose lectures / learning material from several data sources, keeping track of their origin and their license.
  • I can export these resources in various formats including static web site, epub, pdf, rdf statements, slides.
• As a doctor or as a lawyer:
  • I can write confidential notes about my patients or clients, possibly offline to prevent any network breach.
  • I can get recommendations from the system regarding the most promising paths to follow in each situation, taking into account my personal knowledge and the one available from other sites.
  • I can run the data analysis in my own computing environment.
